  • Our approach

    Occupational therapy at this clinic focuses on helping children achieve independence in daily activities through evidence-based interventions. Sessions work on a range of skills including fine and gross motor development, social skills, sensory processing, attention, self-regulation, self-care routines, and behaviour. The practice assesses children's strengths and formulates individualised plans to meet their goals, recognising that for children, 'occupation' encompasses learning, playing, and socialising. The therapists recognise that early engagement in occupational therapy tends to be more effective in fostering children's self-esteem and confidence. Although primarily a clinic-based practice, community support is offered when aligned with a child's goals and aspirations.
